Robert Carpick collaborates with Cornell postdoctoral researcher Kaiwen Tian and Penn alumni David Goldsby, to publish a paper in Physical Review Letters which attempts to tackle the devastation of earthquakes by investigating the laws of friction at the smallest possible scale, the nanoscale.

Penn Engineers have now developed a microfluidic system where more than ten thousand of these devices run in parallel, all on a silicon-and-glass chip that can fit into a shirt pocket. The team, led by David Issadore, Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioengineering, and Sagar Yadavali, a postdoctoral researcher in his lab, outlined the design of their system in the journal Nature Communications.

Penn Electric Racing Gears up for this Years' Competition with New Design

Penn Electric Racing, a team of about 60 students at the University of Pennsylvania, design and build electric cars to race in the Formula SAE Electric competition each year. Penn President Amy Gutmann paid the students a visit in their workshop to hear more about the club and its successes and congratulate the students on how far they’ve come.

Led by Shu Yang, Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, a Penn/Drexel research team has engineered a way to manipulate nanomaterials to stand up vertically on a scale that has potential for industrial applications.
